if you want to lose weight, it's always assumed it's because you want to be skinny
if you want to exercise more, it's always assumed it's because you want to be skinny
if you want to eat better, it's always assumed it's because you want to be skinny
and so all information, advice, encouragement, and resources for these things is relegated to only being about this one singular goal. they don't tell you that building muscle while fat will help ease joint pains because your body can better support you, or that eating nutritiously will help your body have more energy and work more efficiently, or that working to maintain a steady weight, both up and down, will reduce stress on your organs. nope, it's all skinny skinny skinny skinny you wanna be skinny dont you wanna be skinny ooooo skinny
